Bill > HB569

This bill amends several sections of Ohio law related to abandoned manufactured homes in manufactured home parks. The bill provides a comprehensive framework for how park operators can handle situations involving abandoned manufactured or mobile homes, particularly after an eviction has occurred. Key provisions include establishing a detailed process for notifying home owners about potential removal, sale, or transfer of title, and creating clear procedures for different scenarios based on the home's value. The bill allows park operators to seek court orders to transfer title of abandoned homes valued at ten thousand dollars or less directly, while homes valued over ten thousand dollars must go through a public auction process. The legislation also addresses tax implications, providing mechanisms for waiving or refunding taxes on destroyed homes and ensuring that the transfer of titles is properly documented. Additionally, the bill clarifies notice requirements, liability protections for park operators during home removal, and the distribution of proceeds from home sales. Overall, the bill aims to provide a structured and fair approach to managing abandoned manufactured homes in Ohio's manufactured home parks.
